Tamiya-ry Iaijutsu is a martial art founded by Kamiizumi Magojir
Yoshitane, who later took his mother's name and became known as
Tamiya Gon'emon Muneshige. The art is now part of the Kuroda family
bujutsu. Unlike most iaijutsu and iaid schools, which place the
sword at the hips between the kaku obi and the gi or between the
folds of the obi, practitioners of Tamiya-ry place the sword under
a heko obi (traditionally used to secure a child on one's back)
that is worn over the hakama.
